“My monolithic expectation of what a woman’s body was supposed to look like had no bearing on what actually happened to my body. The two things were wholly unrelated. I never became the woman I imagined. And what was I expecting?”

“That's what time was like, along with the things occupying it, that it made the feelings connected to any memory seem worthless.”

So there is nothing permanent left at the end
but mind alone and absolute
Even the pictures or idea-images
have been withdrawn at the last moment
and replaced by their pure captions
And it is the most ideal self alone consequently
that goes on permanently
spangled with concepts that are neither
gold nor silver but pure water
to infinity"

“and when you love. you let it go. you put it down. you show your shoulders what to do with sky. and love is how. and love is when. and love is why.”

“¡Si me llamaras, sí,
si me llamaras!
Lo dejaría todo,
todo lo tiraría;
los precios, los catálogos,
el azul del océano en los mapas,
los días y sus noches,
los telegramas viejos
y un amor.
Tú, que no eres mi amor,
¡si me llamaras!
Y aún espero tu voz:
telescopios abajo,
desde la estrella,
por espejos, por túneles,
por los años bisiestos
puede venir. No sé por dónde.
Desde el prodigio, siempre.
Porque si tú me llamas
—¡si me llamaras, sí, si me llamaras!—
será desde un milagro,
incógnito, sin verlo.
Nunca desde los labios que te beso,
nunca
desde la voz que dice: No te vayas.”
― La voce a te dovuta
